Hi everyone and welcome back! Can’t believe we’re halfway through already!
Today’s featured book is…
The Lost Storyteller by Amanda Block
This is another book that completely captured my heart – and ended up on one of my “best of” end-of-year lists. This deeply touching tale of love, acceptance and forgiveness would make a perfect winter night read, snuggled up under a blanket.
Read for: family secrets; father/daughter relationship; atmospheric settings; mental health.
Synopsis
The Lost Storyteller is the heartwarming debut novel from a stunning new voice in fiction, Amanda Block.
Rebecca can hardly remember her father Leo Sampson. All she knows is that he was a beloved children’s television star who disappeared when she was just six years old, and her family have managed very well without him thank you very much.
But when Ellis, a journalist, turns up at Rebecca’s office asking for information about Leo, she begins to wonder if there is more to the story of her father’s disappearance than her family have led her to believe.
Then Rebecca is given a book of seven fairy tales, written by Leo, dedicated to his daughter. And through the magic of each of these stories, Rebecca has the chance to get one step closer to the lost storyteller, her father, to discover who he was and what he went through – and even where he might be now . . .
The Lost Storyteller celebrates the magic of forgotten fairy tales and the power and resilience of imagination.
